Planning a day trip from Utica, haven't done long trail rides before. Any suggestions on what to bring?

Here's what I always have in my pannier:

- Several spare tubes (and know how to change them)
- C02 canisters to inflate tires - you may prefer a small pump
- Energy gel
- Extra water container in hot weather
- Gloves and ear covering in cold weather
- Sunscreen
- Bug repellent
- Basic first aid: Motrin, Neosporin, and bandaids
- Compact poncho in case of rain
- Some spare large ziplocks and a trashbag
- Power-storage device for cell phone charging

I don't often need most of those items, but it's good to have them when I do need them!

Good luck on your ride - happy trails!
